#9 The -10 Wonderkids

Lionel Messi in Football Manager 2005

In 2006, many youngsters from all around the world were becoming hot prospects. A young Vincent Kompany was thriving in Anderlecht, Sergio Aguero and Radamel Falcao were South America’s most talked-about players, Sergio Ramos earned his big-money move to Real Madrid.

And of course, a certain Lionel Messi was becoming a regular starter for Barcelona.

But a common link joining these stars was that all of these players were given a -10 potential on Football Manager. Those who are unfamiliar with how the game works, a -10 potential means that the player can have a minimum of 170 and a maximum of 200 potential, ensuring that they would become one of the world’s best.

And boy did the game get it right as all of them have proved themselves at the world’s biggest stage.

Fair play, FM.
